Clever leaps through RED into green.

Multiple peals, a carillon of glass bells, cabinets upon cabinets of curiosities. She is after the eye. The tooth be damned.

Present <greenly engaged>: … next drawer over, little sister! … now warmer! … getting warmer! … no, silly! now cold! …

 

Clever (rummages, ransacks, scours & trolls):

 

Past <dreamily vague>: … let eye of memory guide you …

 

Clever (opens, empties, scatters & sacks):

 
 

Clever (hunts, pursues, chases & preys):

 

Future <grumpily dissociated>: … a meaningless game you play, little mortal … let tooth tell the eventual death of eye and skin and ear and nostril … artifacts degraded, disordered, devolved into naught but component particles … what matters when matter is no more formed and cast? …

Present: … gloomy grandmother! …

Past: … gloomy mother … she raised me, you know … imagine my childhood … the past as trauma …

 

Clever (whoops): Eye spy with my little eye! (leaps)
